Video: Xbox chief: Minecraft will continue on PlayStation, mobile

4.6
When word spread last week that Microsoft was considering a purchase of Mojang and its gaming titan Minecraft, fans were concerned about the game's future. Would Minecraft become an Xbox exclusive? Would it be locked to Windows Phones going forward? In a video discussing the acquisition, Xbox chief Phil Spencer said that Microsoft would continue to help develop Minecraft on all the platforms that made it a $2.5 billion brand in the first place.

vizuaLz This was expected, Microsoft would be stupid to pull Minecraft away from Playstation. What we will see is Xbox getting exclusive updates, etc.


You cant just say things which might not be true

I seriously doubt microsoft will make some updates "exclusive".

I think this is good, dont understamd why people think they will ruin the game.

Minecraft is dead so I don't see why MS wasted their money purchasing it. It's kinda pointless.

amurmum who says they arent just gonna 'slow down' updates for PS4 or some **** anyway?


Because 4j studios releases the console updates, and microsoft would directly take no part in slowing updates.

They would still continue to launch updates similar to the Xbox. You shouldn't have to wait like 5 extra months for the update.

Oh, well that's nice they're not making an Xbox exclusive in a patheric attempt to make mroe money. I was half expecting MC to be released from PS3 and PS4 consoles after MS bought MC. I'm still expecting them to ruin it and use it to make more money. I don't play it though so it doesn't exactly affect me.

It's good to hear they aren't removing it or anything, but how is that going to work?... Updating it on PlayStation?

I don't personally play playstation or even like Sony for that matter, but I don't see them updating it quite frequently or anything. I also don't understand why they bought Minecraft. It seems to be dying out a bit, it's becoming old in my opinion. Most likely the main reason Mojang decided to sell it, the game is slowly dying out.
